Bimini Bay was supposed to be a world-class vacation resort, with a water park, clubhouse and 360 town homes just a few miles from Walt Disney World.

But the water park is a ditch of red dirt and weeds, the clubhouse is half-built and exposed to the elements, mounds of soggy mattresses are heaped behind the clubhouse, and only 215 town homes have been built.

Bimini Bay's problems run deeper than that, however. Residents complain that developer David Meadows hasn't lived up to his promises and is now slapping them with fines and liens they say are unwarranted. Meanwhile, they say, he is paying himself large management fees to operate the partially built community.
